trend: no head table

Saturday, October 24, 2009

That’s right a lot of brides are doing away with the traditional head table, whether it be the bride and groom and their parents or the bride and groom and their bridal party. The sweetheart table has become very popular, a table for just the bride and groom. But I found this very interesting concept from a bride. She created a seat for herself and the groom at EACH table.During dinner they set the grooms phone to a 7 minute timer and when it went off they picked up their plates and went to the next table. They said that it was the best part of their wedding for their guests.

That’s an interesting set-up..I’m not sure how I feel about it. I would hate to have 2 empty seats open at each table at any time throughout the night.

However, I like the idea of having a table just for the bride and groom because it allows the wedding party to sit with their guests.

I think it is a great idea. I have never been a fan of head tables and think it is outdated, although that might be my European background. Great to see brides are coming up with more creative, unconventional ideas and a way to chat with everyone at the wedding, which is normally impossible. Nice!
